Some tips: * Report X.org bugs via the command: `ubuntu-bug xorg` * Test against the latest development Ubuntu. http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/ Bugs marked as affecting the development version tend to get priority attention. * The `xdiagnose` utility has functionality for enabling debugging and analyzing a few common X problems. * Tag your bugs with the Ubuntu versions you have reproduced the issue in. * See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Reporting for tips on writing good bug reports. ** Changed in: fglrx-installer (Ubuntu) Status: Incomplete => Expired -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to fglrx-installer in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/461211 Title: Tiny screen with xrandr monitor switch Status in GNOME Control Center: Invalid Status in X11 Utils: Invalid Status in “compiz” package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Status in “fglrx-installer” package in Ubuntu: Expired Bug description: Binary package hint: compiz $ lsb_release -rd Description: Ubuntu 9.10 Release: 9.10 $ apt-cache policy compiz compiz: Installed: 1:0.8.4-0ubuntu2 Candidate: 1:0.8.4-0ubuntu2 Version table: *** 1:0.8.4-0ubuntu2 0 500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com karmic/main Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status $ When switching monitors from laptop to docked dual monitors, with the following script, I expect my monitors will be set up correctly, and display correctly: #! /bin/sh xrandr --output LCD --off && \ xrandr --fb 3200x1200 \ --output DFP1 --auto \ --output CRT1 --auto --right-of DFP1 The result is that I get a "tiny window" in the upper left hand of the screen -- about enough room for a 37x10 character-wide Terminal to display. Querying xrandr shows that X believes it is set up correctly, but the display is plainly dorked. When I get into this state, and terminate compiz (pkill compiz.real), my display immediately works properly -- spreads out to both monitors. So, I assume that this is a problem with compiz not being updated or pinged properly when the displays are changed underneath it.
